Countdown To Football: Six named to NWFAC 2A preseason list

A newly named Twitter page "Friday Nights in Carolina" released preseason all-conference lists for all of North Carolina's high school football conferences based off of recommendations and viewing game footage from last season.

The preseason all-conference list for the Northwestern Foothills 2A Athletic Conference was tweeted Monday and listed four from East Burke and two from Draughn.

The list consisted of one quarterback, two running backs, four wide receivers, five offensive linemen, four defensive linemen, three linebackers, four defensive backs, two athletes, and one kicker and one punter.

Senior running back Josh Moore leads the Cavalier selections after rushing for 1,358 yards and 11 touchdowns leading Burke County with a 123.5 yards per game average.

Fellow senior defensive back Chase Childers also made the list after only participating in five games due to injury.

Childers racked up 21 total tackles and grabbed three interceptions, including a touchdown return in a season-opening win at West Caldwell, and recovered one fumble.

Junior offensive lineman Matthew Vue and senior punter Turner Strong also represented EB on the all-conference list.

Senior wide receivers Denver Treadway and Khe-Nai Banks were selected to represent the Wildcats.

Treadway recorded 275 receiving yards on 19 catches and a touchdown while Banks made 24 catches for 259 yards and a touchdown with also serving as a kick returner.

Two-time conference champion Hibriten led the way with seven selections.
